Skill issue
No skill needed, save scum to get better dice rolls.
I can understand savescumming to get a desirable outcome but I recommend taking the ironpill, my game has been enjoyable for it since inspiration mechanic is a thing.
I even failed a check to keep shadowheart on my team even though I've invested tons into making her a core member of my team but carried on anyway. That's just how the story goes for me and I'm learning to play around that. Plus there's hirelings if I really need another cleric.
unless the OP is about combat in which case literally
Nah, frick that. I save before I do literally anything now. You never know when some dumb shit is gonna happen, like you meet a trader and talk to them, and before trading you exhaust their dialogue and they just refuse to trade with you anymore, all they'll do when you talk to them after that is say "ok thanks for talking to me" then break off the conversation, and you can never get that unique item they have that you were just about to buy. Dumb shit like this happens absolutely nonstop.
absolute skill issue, just buy it on your next playthrough
Imagine being this much of a pissyhomosexualbabby. Holy shit man.
SKILL
ISSUE
You can pickpocket anything they sell.
I think RPGs might be a little too out of your depth if this shit bothers you so much, maybe stick with FPS games
that's life bro
How would quick saving fix shitty questlines?
Yeah I'm not willing to throw way dozens of hours of getting to a quest resolution only to fail because of shitty rng that made my super charismatic and persuasive character get a critical fail on persuasion. Sorry not sorry, get a better mechanic next time
Yeah, developer skill issue.
>Play like OP
>"This game's too easy!"
>bitch
People naturally gravitate towards the optimal way to solve a problem.
If you let people quick save and load all throughout RNG heavy combat they will.
This is the developers fault and nobody else's.
And really the answer is just either disable saving during combat or at least make it so that you can only save during combat if it's to quit out of the game and the quicksave is deleted once you reload.
Either you get through the whole encounter and accept your losses or you accept having to redo the whole encounter from the start if something goes wrong
Nah. You can just not do it. Don’t blame developers for your inability to control yourself
Yeah you could also just not use magic or healing potions
Not even remotely the same. Thanks for admitting you have no argument
>b-but healing is an intended mechanic!!!
So is quicksaving or the devs wouldnt have put it in the game.
Any normal dev blocks it during combat but they deliberately chose not to.
So obviously they want you to use it.
Cope
how much dick do you have to suck to think that balancing a game is the player's responsibility, not the fricking devs
SIR, YOU MUST ACCEPT ALL THE GAY CUTSCENES FOR JUST BEING A NICE GUY.
SIR, DO NOT RELOAD YOUR SAVE AND AVOID THE GAY CUTSCENE
SIR NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
>wanna suck dick
>y/n
>y
>those fricking gay cutscenes reeeeee, israelite Black folk forced my hand to click on yes
its closer to
>"thanks for being a good friend"
>LET ME SUCK YOUR DICK!
>haha yeah bro im such a good friend id even suck your dick...
>i fricking hate you never speak to me again.
they're still friends with you even if you reject them and it doesn't affect their approval, moron
incredibly bad dialogue options and writing. if you have to metagame the conversation choices to not end up having gay sex with a straight guy, that's indefensible. but you're defending it anyway for some reason, presumably because you're one of those fans turned into fanatics that every corpo lusts after. homosexual.
>bro wanna see magic trick?
>y
>MY ASS HURTS
>fell for the oldest trick in the book
>wanna see a magic trick?
>watch as I make this dick disappears... up your ass!
have a nice day. In the shadow lands thr game literally stops itself so Gale can tell you how much he wants to suck your dick right now even though I was romancing Shadowheart
I bet you didn't even murder him
What a disgusting game.
>Don't le spew harmful stereotypes about LGBT people
>Have an entire production crew/writing staff of LGBT people
>They portray gay men as insatiable sexual degenerates who try to emotionally blackmail straight men into having sex with them
In between this and that Bros movie they're flat out telling you what they're like at this point. Ever since they got the gay marriage they haven't even pretended to be conservative.
>Noooo! You have to let yourself be solicited for sex constantly and if you select the wrong answer even once you are forever a poof!
Is this how you people recruit?
If someone asked me that irl I'd beat their ass
I'm enjoying the game, but this gay invite from Gale made me reload my save because it was way too out of the blue.
>everyone is chilling
>Gale, a mage, tells me he wants to show me something really cool
>I accept, expecting some magic trick or artifact, and tell him I'll meet him later
>Literally EVERY character I talk to after this conversation tells me I'm now engaged to Gale and to enjoy the gay sex later that night
That's the only justifiable reason to save scum.
the only reason to ever be nice to someone is to frick them
>GRRR WHY DIDNT THAT GIRL GIVE ME SEX, I WAS NICE TO HER
>WTF BEING NICE LED TO GAY SEX??? AIEEEEEE SAVE ME Ganker
Which way, incel
I stopped playing like that 10 hours in. The game is way more fun when you just accept the rolls since it feels like the world adapts to them.
also once you get more inspiration failing the occasional roll isn’t so bad, because you can often roll two or three more times if you want
people don't understand game design because they're literally moronic. If the player fails and dies, it should NEVER be a rational decision for them to reload and do the EXACT SAME THING again, the entire point of failure is to enforce some set of rules, what the player can and cannot do.
BG3 is so boring and easy that replaying even a single part is not worth doing. its also mostly cutscenes and movies so the game is gay already and not even worth playing.
Save/Load feature killed videogames. Where's the fun in saving right before a very hard part and just immediately loading back up to that point for infinite tries. Instead of gradually having to work back there by being improving, being more consistent, using your reflexes and skill, you just use some cheating feature. Roguelites or whatever it's called are the most videogame-y videogames because dying actually means something. You actually lose all the progress, all the items, everything. That's why it's a billion times more successful when you beat the game and a lot more harsh when you fail. Instead of just loading back up like a coward you stay consistent in dodging, attacking, positioning, make good decisions on which routes/items to take, etc. Saving should have been a fricking thing.
literally only a pc homosexual issue, aka who fricking cares
>Save/Load feature killed videogames.
Nah the issue is people can't live with their choices because they're moronic. Though if a game doesn't make it fairly clear there will be significant consequences for a choice then it's the game's fault.
I actually agree with you for the most part but if you built games around this concept you would essentially eliminate every single possible longform game and have to make everything NES-tier again or turn all possible ideas into a roguelike of some form. There are also inevitable crashes and such which are a big mark against this kind of game design concept. Then again stuff like certain STALKER mods do the whole open world game + hardcore mode to some degree - I believe ANOMALY even let you swap lives with a random npc upon death or dictate how many extra lives you have but I never tried that myself. All that being said, I think a good compromise could be something like Dark Souls where the game has autosaves and hard saves over your progress after every decision you make so you are forced to live with your decisions, combined with conscious design around this concept so it works better.
>anon forgets what savepoints are
Don't use it. Problem solved you autistic fricking moron Black person.
>don't press f5
>lose 2 hours of progress
Nice
There is no seed and frick you
Everything in this game is based on RNG so loading and doing the exact same thing often produces better results
Teabletop failure is just another opportunity most of the time. Computer games can't have this freedom, so failure is a failure. I don't want to see failure in persuasion with a character builded to persuade with like 10-12 bonuses on it.
no no no its more like
>quicksave
>quckload
>quckload
>quckload
>quckload
>quicksave
bro no no no bro, it's totally normal that a 65% attack roll that becomes a 87% then a 92% then a... probability success takes 5 rerolls to hit. There is nothing wrong with that math and there definitely isn't something fundamentally broken with attack chance modifiers, you just don't understand probability bro.
>my bad behaviour is the game's fault!
yes moron, it wouldn't work if the game was well designed.
I'm guessing you're an adult but even if you're not have some fricking self control, you b***h.
Man you guys must be worse at games than even the normies
You could just not do that and play it out instead of being a turbo homosexual who has to have perfect outcomes always.
If you do that you're a subhuman incapable of abstract thought.
You can repair a bike tire, you can plan for next week, you can organize your apartment - but you'll never create anything original. You might as well not exist, your life has no value other than the manual labour you perform.
Imagine being such an insecure homosexual that you cannot handle or adapt to a single setback on your journey.
Is it just me or are fighters kinda gimped compared to casters?
>fighter
>have to run in and endanger yourself in the middle of the enemy group
>65% accuracy
>caster
>have almost the same armor and life cause of draconic subclass
>can do like 20 damage per turn with magic missiles and then take cover in safety
And this is just at level 1/2. They get even crazier nukes and more spammy shit as we go forward.
Exactly like dnd by the way casters tend to outclass martials the higher you go though martials usually being play between 1-5 (they're called wizards of the coast not fighters of the coast)
Congratulations, you just discovered caster superiority that has been a thing since the inception of dungeons and dragons. 5e made martials somewhat more in line but casters can still shape reality according to their wishes while martials hit slightly harder.
I started as a paladin and multiclassed to warlock with the intention of smiting with my warlock spell slots. By midgame I was almost exclusively eldritch blasting and by lategame my EB was doing 60 damage per pop unless I missed. I'd have been a fool to run into melee when I could just misty step somewhere high and be a turret.
Being a martial just doesn't pay, amigo. Embrace magic and be happy.
I dunno, I am enjoying my 8 fricking actions as a battle master fighter
It's almost always worth it at least in bg3 to multiclass as a caster, whether it be into wizard for scroll scribe or to a martial class for armor bonuses or extra free actions
The accuracy on fighters can be circumvented by having a wildheart barbarian in your group who has wolf aspect. While they're raging, any enemy they're near gets a debuff that causes your other melee units to attack with advantage. I also would have astarion pickpocket hillgiant potions off the dwarf vendor chick at the myconid colony and since her stock seems to refill over time and they last until long rest I always had them active on my 2 fighters so they were sitting around 95-99% accuracy when they're with the barbarian
>Fighters getting so cuked needing an authist screaming guy to fight properly
idk my barbarians can wipe any enemy with just two hits
i feel mages are way better for aoe and clustefricks, but idk im an dndlet
>>can do like 20 damage per turn
my level 7 fighter does about 65
>And this is just at level 1/2
my lvl 7 mage does ~40 and it costs him a IV spellslot
An unranked magic missile can easily do 100 guaranteed damage.. they hit for 10 each.. you can either nuke 5 low health enemies spread out or dump your load into one boss..
Gish characters are the ultimate apex
100 guaranteed damage? Level 5 magic missile does like 20 maybe 30 damage bro
evocation wizard gets +5-6 on every missile
Damn subclass skill issue for me then
That's not true? Unless its different on normal vs tactical difficulty.
EMPOWERED EVOCATION
Your grasp of Evocation magic has tightened, and you can add your Intelligence modifier to damage rolls with any Evocation spells.
So thats when you pick the same school for the second time? not a d&d knower and just hit level 6 so still a bit to go
oh, so lvl 10 thing
The problem with magic is that if it is equal to melee it feels like fricking shit, because no one wants magical powers just to be the same as a rando with a sword. Magic can never be really balanced.
Nah, fighters absolutely murder.
>leap across the entire fricking map

>trip/frighten one
>action surge

I love my Green Goblin Gomorra.
give your battlemaster fighter haste/ haste potion and observe as xe/ xir performs 6 maneuver attacks in one turn and solo obliterates a boss at level 5
DND has always been like this. Im a 2E loser and the way it worked is that casters started off as frail weaklings that die if you sneeze on them. But by end game, they are literally stopping time, making themselves invulnerable and killing you 5 times before you hit the ground the moment a fight starts.
fighters in BG3 depend on their weapon, weapons in BG3 were made to balance this out
good weapon stats -> good fighter
bad weapon stats -> bad fighter
Remember fighters can act 2 or even 4 times per turn, so if you have something that can inflict say frighten you're almost guaranteed to inflict it once per turn, which is absolutely insane.
You'll get weapons for your fighter later on that gives you access to what are basically 3rd or even 4th level spells, there is a certain trident in the beginning of act 3 that when you throw it, it returns to you and does ~12-20 thunder damage in an area along with 8-20 damage. There are weapons the inflict prone in an area whenever you crit, etc. Fighters have access to insane weapon effects. The best way to use fighters is to have a caster cast hold person, then have your fighter wail on them. Can usually do over 100 damage per turn this way and all it really costs is a level 2 spell (which you can upcast to cast on upto 5 at the same time).
But if you keep the same weapon on your fighter throughout the game you're guaranteed to have a useless fighter.
What trident and where
I think it's nyrulna
in the place with the clowns n shit, there's a djinn by the wheel. Piss him off once and he turns you into cheese. Pickpocket him for the ring he uses to cheat then roll the wheel again, he gets pissed off again and transports you to jurassic park. There's a portal at the end where a chest beside it. That's where the trident is
It is just you.
>Get the mace of dicking the undead in act fricking 1
>All of act 2 is undeads
You should never struggle as melee
not an argument
Not our fault you are gay
>game explicitly designed around RNG
>this is at the front and center
>people will defend this because "le heckin DND!"
>even after years of everyone b***hing about games with drops and general outcomes reliant on RNG
i just dont get it, what changed? is that all that was needed, a fricking die to show you your result.
You wouldn't get it.
explain it, explain why you need D&D: THE VIDEOGAME instead of just playing it irl.
no friends? plenty of singleplayer TTRPGs exist for people like you.
You don't get it.
explain it or i'll assume there is no appeal and this is just the latest normalgay "pick up and drop" game that will be forgotten the instant the next shiny AAA is announced
i like bopping homies off cliffs
This is why STR is far superior to DEX
an eldritch blast is fine too
Yeah its literally meant to be a D&D video game, what else would you expect from it?
The moronic DnD system is basically the biggest downside of the game. I play it despite the ridiculous variance, not because of it.
He doesn't get it...
that is part of the challenge you moron
dealing with bad rolls, taking advantage when good rolls happen, using skills/items that don't use rolls if failing a roll is catastrophic
drops are completely different, there is no strategy there, just grinding
>well you see you are actually supposed to just deal with the game punching you in the face 50 times in a row because it might give you a nat 20 on a meaningless random event
>game explicitly designed around RNG
>this is at the front and center
>anon still plays and complains about it even though he knew the game was designed like this from the very beginning
Have you tried playing something you enjoy instead of spending your days complaining about games that weren't made for you? You have the exact same mentality as those twitter homosexuals asking for more inclusivity "WAAHH DADDY DEV PLZ CHANGE YOUR GAME SO IT CATTERS TO ME WAAAHHHHH"
alright yeah thats cool and all but bald man's gaze 3 is one of the most successful AAA's because of the "D&D: THE VIDEO GAME" tag.
which means other devs will cheaply rip off of its game systems.
what do you think that translates to?
Don't like it, don't buy it. Follow Ganker's advice from 10+ years ago and make your own vidya instead of throwing money at shit you know you'll hate.
>throwing money at shit you know you'll hate.
thats the funny part, anon.
i didnt.
it is standard practice to take a "free trial" of any AAA game you might be slightly interested in.
anyways the point im trying to make is that the whole "the game decides your decisions for you" doesnt really work in videogames because unlike a tabletop, the game cant be forgiving if you get too many nat 1s or throw in a twist if you get a lot of nat 20's.
meanwhile in a TTRPG a good DM would be willing to give his party a break if they are exceptionally unlucky with rolls.
but guess what? with how popular the game is devs will copy the "game decides your decisions for you" shit and make other AAA's even fricking worse, and probably bleed into a ton of indies as well.
tl;dr: the mechanic sucks, have a nice day, go back to your nerd cave and get out of my nerd cave.
>meanwhile in a TTRPG a good DM would be willing to give his party a break if they are exceptionally unlucky with rolls.
The game quite literally has that.
>go back to your nerd cave and get out of my nerd cave
Says he, breaking into other people's nerd caves to complain about their games.
>meanwhile in a TTRPG a good DM would be willing to give his party a break if they are exceptionally unlucky with rolls.
if you are consistently "exceptionally unlucky with rolls" in a tabletop that means you're playing a shit character and you are the one to blame.
Tough like you fricking moron, not my fault you decided to create a social-heavy char for a dungeon-delving campaign
Eat shit and reroll.
Don't reply to me ever again.
Don't ever sit at a TTRPG table, Black person
even if the game does have it, the point still stands that deciding your decisions for you sucks.
if i level a character's stat to max there should be a 0% for failure. the character is LITERALLY a perfect master in said subject.
>w-w-well even so...
Jump off a building.
You personally disliking the devs' design choices does not make the game shit. It makes it not for you, move on with your fricking life.
>FAILING A BASIC CHARISMA CHECK AS A MAX CHARISMA CHARACTER AGAINST A REGULAR ASS MERCHANT IS FAIR AND BALANCED BECAUSE I SAID SO!
go back to your nerd cave, it just doesnt work in videogames my guy.
It's a DnD game, it follows DnD rules.
Cry about it all you want, you fricking baby, no one's changing the rules for you.
larian views perfecting your class as having to press F8 less often. Autists somehow have missed the glaring fact they let you save in dialogue as if that isn't a tell they balanced the whole system around their save-load mechanism.
>m...m...my build gets good at lv10! Only 20 more hours to go and then...
>you're supposed to roll with the punches, you're having fun wrong! Sure I've wiped 6 times on this random encounter but the 7th I lived and immediately long rested but that is entirely different than saveskimming like some hekkin casual
unga bunga'ing through everything with stacked health potions or failing valiantly isn't how people generally view fun an an RPG, most view it as "limiting"
there is exactly one way to run through the map, killing off smaller encounters out of order until you're lv3, then mopping up the 2 whole non main quest "dungeons", then going back to the main quest and meat grinding the now easy goblin horde and trivialized "bosses." I'll give it to them it's "competently" done to hide how little there is for your first several damn days of play, but normies aren't autists and that spell will break the second someone tries to play the game a second time and realizes the choice they "made" are part of a midtier themepark experience. There is a reason why everyone talking mechanics is centering on the game level 5-10 when you can finally actually do stuff, which is like hour 20. No wonder act 1 isn't even finished for 80% of players.
>le karmic dice
or they could have just fixed their combat system. Or not have required 20 hours of play to get the party to lv5 for a lv5+ D&D module. The whole first map would be a 2 hour single session adventure if you didn't have to grind to the point you can finally consistently slap around lv2 goblins. The game outside of leveling is what D&D usually is, collecting loot from interesting encounters to perfect builds. But if they did that it'd instantly reveal how small the game actually is.
Long way to say you suck.
>grinding in a game with no respawning enemies
Please, do tell us how you managed such a feat.
Also,
>he had trouble dealing with goblins
Glad to see how this successful and widely beloved game is hated by trannies and Gankerirgins from 4troon
>no YOU'RE the troony for disliking the gayest video game ever made
People used to put effort into trolling you know.
You are playing it wrong.
Consider this, what sounds more fun?
Autistically talking to every character and changing your personality trying to please them so you get the most dialogue out them. Reloading failed rolls so you don't "miss content" and spending your whole playthrough fighting the game so you get the most out of it
Or,
Do what your character would do. Kill or avoid those they wouldn't trust. Let them fail rolls and find their own ways out of situations. Say no to quests they wouldn't do.
The "R" in "RPG" stands for "roleplaying". Not "completionism."
>haha console babbys
>meanwhile, on PC
>nooo you need to go into a pause menu to save
you can’t quicksave irl, you should adapt your gameplay to reflect this, save scumming isn’t Christian
>you can’t quicksave irl
God i wish i could
I can't hurl fireballs and eldrirch blasts irl either though.
Maybe you can't, chimlet
Welcome to cRPGs that aren't roguelikes?
Granted would be really nice if more cRPGs implemented a ironman style system where you can only rest at certain points and that is your save point so you're forced to use those 500 crafting components 100 healing potions and over 9000 scrolls
how about they just autosave
I played fallout 2 like that, but grew up since then
Stop savescumming like a moron? Noones forcing u to cheat ur way through the game lol
>LOL hey, so I've been playing Baldur's Ga-
SHUT UP. Just shut. The frick. Up. Holy FRICK this is a board of brainwashed NPCs. Never in my life have I seen such a transparent astroturfing attempt. You think you're special or unique? You're a fricking sheep.
FACT: The general populace are morons. There has literally never been anything that has been popular on a widespread scale that has been of genuine quality. Why do you think gatekeeping exists? If people had taste and didn't ruin franchises with their preferences, there's be no GATE TO KEEP.
Have some respect for yourselves! You're no better than normies and their FOMO; "oh, my feed is full of this game, better play it so I can be part of the newest trend!" You vapid, vapid c**ts.
Everywhere I turn it's Shitdur's Gate this, Baldumb's Gay that. Who even the frick is Baldur anyway? Nobody gave a crap the first two times his gate opened. I feel like this is a gigantic psyop.
It's like the shitty Barbie movie which nobody was actually interested in but a combination of pandering and social media saturation created a social obligation to go and see it. I still haven't actually spoken to anyone in real life who's seen it, and I expect this game will be the same.
So stop fricking posting about it. 10-20 threads on every sodding platform I use. Evidently purchased.
Shall I be playing? I think not. I'll be sticking to my backlog of actual good games, thanks (I.e. things I've cultivated an interest for myself and not things the internet has told me to like.)
Grow a spine, you twats. Just say no.
Reddit moment
You know that by being contrarian, you're still letting yourself be influenced by the FotM?
sounds like a you problem
I haven't reloaded a single time except when I lost the fight against Grym (mostly because I accidentally squished one of my party members)
If you don't roll with the punches, then you're just moronic. There's a reason the game gives you rez scrolls out the ass. Quicksaving at any point removes the entire point of the game. You should only ever reload if your party gets wiped out.
Unironically never had to do that, I had 3+ free rerolls at all times. Did your party face have 8 charisma or something?
Don't save scum. Problem solved
I did the same thing in BG1&2 and every other crpg
All games should use Dark Souls autosave system and nothing else.
>sprint through entire area
>100 enemies on your ass
>quit out
>spawn right in that spot with no enemies on your ass
no
quicksave is fine. If you savescum thats your problem
I blame Larian moronic system where you don't share your party skills
but you do tho
No
oh?
If you're in dialogue and there's a history check you can't use your party member with 18 int and proficiency to pass it
but you can use your partymember to do the talking. and you can also have your partymembers buff your checks mid-save
So you agree you don't share your party skills
really annoyed by two things right now
>no skillshare/dialogue handoff option in conversations, if the fighter gets sucked into the wrong dialogue with massive consequences lmao get owned, reload or probably fail the check, other crpg co-op games have this, it's a typical thing for party members to interrupt dialogue in actual DND, there's no reason it shouldn't be here and it results in people who aren't the face sitting around and doing nothing instead of interacting with people on their own
>for some reason there's basically no full-visor helmets which is just a bummer because if I'm playing a heavy armor character, I want that, always
>no skillshare/dialogue handoff option in conversations, if the fighter gets sucked into the wrong dialogue with massive consequences lmao get owned, reload or probably fail the check, other crpg co-op games have this, it's a typical thing for party members to interrupt dialogue in actual DND, there's no reason it shouldn't be here and it results in people who aren't the face sitting around and doing nothing instead of interacting with people on their own
If drunk Russians could do it there's no reason Larian couldn't. I hope a mod will fix this
It's worse when succeeding a roll has a bad outcome
Like that kid that's doesn't speak in the hollow
And your perception check passes and you find where he went
Ending in mol telling the adults and turning them all hostile
>*try to do something moronic*
>*succeed in your moronation*
>"NOOOOO WTF WHY DOES THIS HAVE A BAD OUTCOME?!?"
You really don't have to savescum at all. Just live with the choices and be pleasantly surprised that most of the things you can fail actually have a pleasant surprise that is not negative.
Doesn't have a 100% success dice mod...
protip, not all successful rolls are benign
losing rolls will often give you more exposition and different choices. if you have a 100% dice mod you're locking yourself out to a ton of content
I bet you people savescummed to save gale in the beginning too, instead of getting to do a whole questline that gives him way more story

What the frick are you trying to say.
The valkith queen at the end of the monastery sidequest sucks
Just like the originals then, sounds like a great sequel.
It turns into walking on fire simulator like all other larian games.
They learned nothing. I got my money back already.
Lack of platonic buddies like Minsc or Morte or Wrex is why this game will be as forgetable as original souls 2 or Pathfinder games
Minsc is literally a companion in this
gay vampire is still better
>Minsc is literally a companion in this
Why spoil a new game?
they spoiled him in trailers a while ago
He's hardly a character and more superflous than jaheira as a companion
You still should have spoiled that.
I wasn't that anon
you can also have a drow and a goblin pocket pussy as companions in act1
Just don't spoil new games.
why are you still talking to me? also whats wrong with "spoiling"? you are more excited now over a longer duration and have more motivation to play the game
You can't intentionally spoil new games.
Says who? Are you new to this site? There is no spoilers rule whatsoever, besides maybe spoiling other things on unrelated boards.
People discuss current media all the time, no matter how new it is. If you want to avoid spoilers for anything new you haven't yet finished then you avoid this place, that's it.
How to get gobbo un act 1? The one imrisoned by druids? She didnt join me after getting her to thecamp. And after siege all gobos are now hostile since i killed the drow leader
Why go to a forum board with no respect to spoilers?
I find irritating charcters like the bear sex druid guy and the lolth b***h not being party members until way late act2 even tho they re in your fricking camp jerking off when you arent in the camp

You can do that? Lmao
You just KNOW everyone’s using that shit. Cringe.
Did they bother put a patch for true pause when you re playing offline or gonna stick to bullshit hardcore soulshit as excuse?
Anyone who has played past act 1, do the evil options get better or is every evil side mustache twirling tier and there are absolutely no LE options?
I was appalled by the fact that the first conflict in the game is "do you want to be a goody two shoes or a fricking maniac for drow pussy?". Dark urge is fun but I am trying to play a high int character over here, not a mindless brute.
Nope, just the same thing but turning against jaheira and survivors of the shadowlands
I will either reroll for a good guy or a complete pyschopath then, I like the game but it's clear the character I was trying to play is not welcome in it.
Ruling the world is very LE
But there is no reason to think some of the things I am doing will lead to such an outcome. It seems like using my powers will lead me to be destroyed and replaced by a mind flayer, and the only reward to not being a good guy is fricking a drow. The journey is just as important as the destination in my mind.
Woke writers dont get subtlety like in fallout new vegas
>Gale in one video
literally every DnD game
>Cheat Engine
>Activate unlimited movement, abilities and spells
>Activate dice roll bonuses
Oh yes. It's gaming time.
how the frick would cheat engine even work with a modern release?
you'd need to build a specialized trainer
.
real video games:
>character has max charisma
>can talk his way through anything, given the option.
>this makes sense because he is literally one of the most charismatic people to exist, and only those who arent willing to listen cant be swayed
D&D: THE VIDEO GAME
>character has max charisma
>dice rolls still decide everything, he will still fail about 20-25% of charisma checks just because the game decided he should
>this makes sense because ???
Already uninstalled. It's not a 'bad' game by modern standards but terrible story and unlikeable characters who are suffering from Marvel writing and millienal writing syndrome. That inventory system. RNG is totally illogical at times, pathfinding through terrain is terrible. And then of course the beastiality and forced gay shit is the cherry on top. I have never seen a more overrated game in my life and I've been gaming since 1988. Developers were making better games than this with more refined combat systems and better inventory management 30 years ago. Why do all the characters suffer from Main Character Syndrome? Why is everyone in it a c**t apart from maybe the black guy?
>create a game where every choice matters
>also make it insanely save scummable, to a point where the game will often even save scum itself
why do Larian, Bethesda, BioWare etc. do this?
you can gun everyone down in hitman games and finish levels in a few minutes, probably finish most games in the series in under an hour that way. You can also make up your own words in a crossword puzzle and declare yourself the winner. Go play a corridor shooter if you need the devs to hold your hand through the experience
a game where every choice matters
>why does Bethesda do this?
kek
Is Act 3 really unplayable?
I have a toaster that somehow is holding on fine so far but I hear even high end PCs are getting "cinematic experienced" in Act 3
I get stable 60 fps on an ancient rx570 and ryzen 3600 on medium-high settings in act 3
maybe it’s dx12 that is fricked? I had zero trouble on dx11, dx12 kept crashing
Baldur's Gate is fricking MASSIVE with a lot of shit happening, a lot of people walking around, and a lot of lower and upper parts.
I got a 2070 Super and had a relatively 60 FPS experience, but once I reached Baldur's Gate I was getting 20 - 40 FPS.
Nope I take my critical misses with karmic dice disabled like a man. That save? Overwritten. There's no going back.
>have 100000 quadrillion IQ
>still a 50% chance that you can fail to answer what 2 + 2 is
DnDgays
A wizard did it
I play as halfling, because I hate nat1
I often wonder who the frick would want to be halfling or gnome. There's no real racial bonuses in the game or advantages for it.
What? You literally reroll every nat1 as halfling, both in combat and in dialogues.
what about GUH-NOME?
They have long ears and can cosplay goblins
>advantage on all mental saving throws
>either free Speak With Animals or permanent advantage on Stealth checks
It's not busted like Half-Orcs or as packed with utility spells as Gith, but it's very handy.
>le pointless unappealing race has a very OP ability to get people to pick it
so sick of this bullshit
>unappealing
I like my halfling
>playing on tactical
>fighter has 4 X 90 percent hits
>misses every one
>get wiped
yeah how am I supposed to just "roll with it" when the dice rolls just decide arbitrarily that I lose? stupid game design defended by contrarian morons who for some reason think 5e is above criticism
Turn off karmic dice you moronic double Black person.
He probably does have it off. I've had it off since early access, I think Advantage is bugged because its wild how so many advantage attacks don't hit
>91% to hit
>advantage
>miss
This is how I know I'm cursed and life hates me.
I missed several 95 percents in a single battle yesterday with karmic dice off, my irl luck stat is low
what party do you run? I got EK Tav, Shadowheart, Astarion and Gale. Haven't had much trouble besides one time I forgot to position Gale and he got tossed into lava LMAO
>what party do you run?
Battlemaster heavy armor+shield MC
Champion 2h sword Lae'zel as my dedicated damage dealer, wife and campfire punching bag
Astarion respecced into a pure Necromancer wizard
Shadowfart as a pure cleric mostly for morale support (all she does is hold the lantern in act 2 lmao)
>Finish first playthrough after 55 hours
>Enjoyed it so much doing a 2nd playthrough as Dark urge Drow.
>Get to act 3
>Don't feel like finishing the game
I dunno what it was about act 3, but man it's not fun to replay for me, I just uninstalled the game. Enjoyed the first time though.
>failing a roll is always negative
>never allows for any interesting thing to happen
Disco Elysium is the only game I’ve ever played that did this right
also let me stock up inspiration past 4, jfc
Alert, my beloved.
I play Dark Urge and have not once touched manual saves.
what if you misclick something?
Then I live with the consequences of my actions.
Isn't that normal for shit that heavily relies on RNG for gameplay?
>Isn't that normal for shit that heavily relies on RNG for gameplay?
It's not normal. You're supposed to slurp up the shitty rolls and move on, reloading only when you get completely BTFO. Failing rolls in humiliating fashion is part of the game. Austists reload after every failed roll.
Does romancing give better stats or something? Because this is pretty cringe otherwise
why didn't they just make a fun combat system instead?
Now that I've reached level 12 and there is still a bunch of shit to do should I get the level 20 cap mod?
crpgs in a nutshell:
shit combat
no worldbuilding
disgusting subhuman fetishbait
it's like a middle school CYOA book but for soys
Now do it for jrpgs
no critical?
F8
>tfw I don't do this
>have to redo 3 combat encounters and do a worse job on two of them
>autismo thinks he needs to succeed his rolls to "win" the game
Check the weapons from the adamantine forge
None seem too great
Make 2 heavy armor instead of 1 heavy and 1 medium since one of my tanks has 10 dex and the other only 13 so the heavy armor is better for her and i dont anticipate getting a 18 dex item soon anyway.
Leave act 1
Merchant with 18 dex gloves on the first quest of act 2
frickfrickfrickfrickfrick
The armor is still better, the weapons suck. Armor not allowing enemies to crit is gigantic, also reeling is pretty good.
Yeah but i probably would have made a medium armor if i had known the gloves were so close, even if only for variety
>telling people you play like a gay

I didn't ask for there to be 30 threads on this game I want one to discuss gameplay
>new thing gets talked about
>"must be shilling."
moron
What the frick do I do in the quest where you are supposed to kill the painting with the torch? Is it bugged? I have the magic torch but hitting it does nothing
Role playing game more like ROLL playing game AM I RIGHT HAHA
>save scumming
You didn't beat it
>There are homosexuals reloading everything instead of dealing with the consequences or going with the flow.
Jesus fricking Christ bro, I'm glad a game like BG3 exists because maybe then you homosexuals can learn how to deal with shit and adapt instead of being a b***hhomosexual when you didn't like how it didn't go your way.
There have been times where I've played this game for hours and don't even remember when my last save was because I just continue going, my Halsin died by Dror Ragzlin, Shadowheart hated me until I was able to convince her to tell me about Shar, and Gut immediately outed me as a fraud and the whole goblin camp was alerted to my presence.
the only problem that I have with this game is that dice rolls are either a 10 or a fricking 20. Fricking why?
You left karmic dice on.
>cast buff
>get hit by a gust of wind, a stray pebble or someone looks at me funny
>CONCENTRATION BROKEN
>lose buff and spell slot and time
Every time. I'm just smiting everything from now on.
you don't understand, turn based is more tactic
Should've put a cap on the save scumming. Like they did in Darkest Dungeon. Would've made it so much more fun and replayable.
Especially since they added a bunch of nods where you lose, blunder and fail. That most players won't ultimately see, because yeah,
>*quicksave*
>*reload*
I really don't get why people do this. Just live with your failed rolls. if you get in a battle you didn't expect, let it play out.
